New ZR1 At The Track.

Im in Memphis.... for work....again. and thought id go to TnT tonight because i have nothing else to do....
What do i see.... a brand new ZR1.
I snapped a few pic's with my iPhone. Sorry quality isnt better.
On stock tires with 1000 miles on it..... 11.25@131 isnt bad at all.
He did better then Road and Track.
This was his best pass of 6 passes.... started out @ 11.6 then 11.4...

I looked at the slip and it went like this

60' - 1.967
1/8 - 7.45@101.97
1/4 - 11.25@131.3

Here are the pic's....

Anyone else seen them in person yet???

Ha Ha yep.... good eye LOL

Gotta eat......
I doubt they will get slicks on them..... that rear rotor is HUGE....
I wonder if there even going to make a drag radial that big..... 325/25/20's out back..... Silver wheels looked awsome and so did the blue on the calipers... matched the motor, seats, and badges.

I saw one in Brassleton GA in Sept at the Chip Foose car show at Year One. It was yellow and I hated the blue calipers with the yellow color. It totally clashed.

those rotors are carbon ceramic, and theyre about $10,000ish if i remember correctly. nitto makes a 305/20 drag radial, thats about the widest it gets right now. and yes they are amazing in person.
